Styling Tip

While we wouldn't recommend wearing these to a big meeting, you can still put them together with a khaki cotton suit and a henley t-shirt or Breton stripe shirt underneath. It's the perfect way to dress down your spring suit.

The
In-Between Shoe

Spring means you're spending more time outdoors, most likely on your feet. While wing tips look great, leather soles and long walks aren't exactly a match made in heaven. Then we found out about the Powel sneaker by Clae. The footwear brand specializes in kicks with a subtle design and minimal branding, perfect for modern guys. This style combines design elements from saddle shoes and wing tips, and puts it on a vulcanized, padded rubber sole. The lightweight shoe won't look out of place with a pair of slim chinos or cuffed jeans, and depending on the office, might be the sort of footwear that transitions well between work and play.
